艾伦·纽韦尔有一句名言：“你不可能和大自然玩20个问题就赢了”（纽韦尔，A.（1973年）。你不可能和大自然玩20个问题就赢了。在W.G. Chase（Ed.），视觉信息处理。纽约：学术出版社），并特别关注研究二元区别的徒劳。然而，分类和坐标空间关系表征之间的区别已经证明是富有成效的。在这篇简短的文章中，范畴/坐标的区别被视为一个案例研究，作为一种解决更普遍问题的方式，即如何与自然打交道并获胜。研究二元区别的关键可能在于这种区别与以前的区别。首先，从一开始，这种区分就被置于一个更一般的处理系统理论的背景下;其次，它是从处理系统内的多层次分析的角度制定的，从而将信息处理的特征与大脑的特征联系起来。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Alan Newell famously asserted that "You can't play 20 questions with nature and win" (Newell, A. (1973). You can't play 20 questions with nature and win. In W.G. Chase (Ed.), Visual information processing. New York: Academic Press.), and specifically focused on the futility of studying binary distinctions. However, the distinction between categorical and coordinate spatial relations representations has turned out to be fruitful. In this brief article, the categorical/coordinate distinction is treated as a case study, as a way to address a more general point, namely how to play 20 questions with nature and win. The key to studying binary distinctions may lie in the ways this one differs from previous ones. First, from the outset this distinction was cast within the context of a theory of a more general processing system; second, it was formulated from the perspective of multiple levels of analysis within a processing system, and thereby bridges characteristics of information processing with characteristics of the brain.
